Why has it not happened? Because up to now, no Ada developers with the time and ability to create one has felt enough need to want to do so. If one existed, I'd grab it. But--flame me if you want-- I do OK without it and can't see anything I can give up to make room for that as a project. I suspect I am not alone--else the tool would already exist. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
